Vlog: Riding with the Nokia N95

July 20th, 2007 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

For the third episode of MarkTV, I attached my Nokia N95 to the sunroof and recorded my drive on Grand Central Parkway. It’s been a while since the last episodes, so to reintroduce you to the show, MarkTV shows you what I can do with my Nokia phones. Try doing this with your iPhone… oops, the iPhone can’t even do videos! Check out the blooper at the end.

You can also view this video in DVD-like quality.

Materials used: GPS mount and Nokia N95. That’s it. Instead of mounting to my dashboard, I used the glass surface of my sunroof and pointed the camera of the Nokia N95 towards the front. I got the idea of doing this from watching YouTube user chipko’s videos using his Nokia N93 showing his drive. Pretty cool!

I’ve made several videos already, but I am calling this episode 3 because I want to continue with this format and style from now on. To check all my created videos, just check the “MarkTV” category on my blog. They can also be seen in my YouTube and Blip.TV accounts.

P.S. About the iPhone comment… I don’t hate it. I actually loved it after playing with one yesterday. No way in hell it will replace my Nokia N95, though.

    Haha. Loved the blooper at the end. I was wondering how stable it was going to be up there.

    Thanks for sharing the video and your experience with the n95. I just got one myself and looking for best practices on how to use it. I went from a old Treo 600 to a nokia n95 - what an upgrade!!
